The discs are only mechanical if that makes a difference.
I consulted at the weekend with the LBS owner who facilitated my acts of whimsy about this and we looked at fitting bar end shifters or sti levers, but it would cost over £100 and I think that money would be better put towards my next bike.
... although I could get some second hand myself ...
Please tell me more about these '90 degree banjo connectors', though.
Get a look at this bad boy my partner was given in work its like the boss hog of the bicycle world. 3 gears in a hub and pedal brakes, i think i'm in love!

Are the mechanical discs lacking in any way that would make you would fit hydraulics? I'm interested as I want to upgrade a hybrid from V- brake to disc. Should I be ok with mechanicals or are hydraulics the way to do it?
